The Atma Approach

Cancer
Prevention

Screening finds what's already big enough to see.

Why a clean colonoscopy is good — but it's not a terrain plan.

By Dr. Neela Sandal

The short answer: Screening finds what is already big enough to see. The Atma Approach to prevention looks at the terrain, including insulin, hormone clearance, chronic inflammation, and sleep.

How Does Mainstream Medicine Treat Cancer Prevention?

Mainstream medicine's approach to cancer prevention is a screening calendar.

Mammogram. Colonoscopy. PSA if you argue for it. "Don't smoke." When the scan is clean you are done until the next due date. The metabolic and toxic terrain that grows a first cell into a problem is not a visit type.

Sound like your last doctor's appointment?

What Does Mainstream Medicine Miss About Cancer Prevention?

Commonly missed root causes of cancer prevention include insulin, a liver that cannot clear hormones, chronic gut and mouth inflammation, and sleep that never repairs DNA.

Screening finds what is already big enough to see. Prevention is insulin, smoking leftovers, a liver that cannot clear hormones, a mouth and gut full of chronic inflammation, and sleep that never repairs DNA. A clean colonoscopy is good. It is not a terrain plan.

The Atma Approach looks at you as a unique person. What in your terrain would help a bad cell keep going?

Has your doctor ever talked to you about these commonly missed root causes?

Commonly Missed Root Causes

•Insulin resistance and visceral fat feeding growth signals year after year
•Smoking history, radon, and work chemicals that never made the chart
•Chronic infections and inflammatory guts that keep local tissue in repair mode
•Hormone load the liver and gut are supposed to clear and do not
•Sleep debt and shift work cutting nocturnal DNA repair
•Nutrient and methylation gaps that make copy-errors more expensive
•A family mutation used as destiny instead of a reason to run a tighter terrain
